Totalnewbie,
First welcome to the board, and welcome to one of the great things you will have done in your life. As you get started, be aware of other officials in the area. Take every opportunity to watch different guys work. Take from each of them things that you like whether it be style, or learn from what they do or don't call. If you become part of an association, be sure to align yourself with people you are comfortable with. That is not to say, don't work with others, but you will find it easier to get help if you are around people that you find common ground with. Then as you start to work games, ask for feedback. I just finished my 7th year, I have worked 2 regional tournaments in Wyoming, and after every game my partner and I ask the next crew or anyone who happens to be there "what did you see, what do we need to do differently". If you ask most people will be honest with you, however if you don't ask very few will offer constructive advice, and you may think that it is because there is nothing to offer....Force the feedback, and hope that it is honest (it usually will be)...oh and last but not least.....Have Fun....
